As the sixth episode of "The Snow Girl" unfolds, Miren finds herself in the hot seat in 2019, facing a grilling interrogation from Belen and Chiparro, the duo probing the mysterious arson of the Foster caravan. Her intricate ties to both individuals, and their shadowy connections to Amaya's baffling disappearance, have cast a pall of suspicion over her. They accuse her, albeit without concrete evidence, of perpetrating the double murder and arson, driven by the belief that she sought revenge for their involvement in snitching on Slide's associates.
Eduardo, consumed with concern for Miren, offers to accompany her to confront Iris, but she insists on treading this treacherous path alone. Meanwhile, Ana and Alvaro, embroiled in yet another media circus, are blindsided by the revelation of Foster and Luque's connection, fueling the media's insatiable hunger to brand Miren as Amaya's prime suspect. This specter of suspicion hovers heavily over everyone, casting doubts on Miren's innocence.
In the throes of anxiety, Miren retreats into the solace of slumber, ignoring the relentless buzz of her unattended phone. Eduardo, ever the guardian angel, arrives to collect her, shielding her from the relentless paparazzi horde outside Sur's office. As he retrieves her car, his eyes fall upon a damning discovery: a bulky camera lens and incriminating photographs, undeniable evidence that Miren had indeed been the author of those incriminating online posts. Yet, he chooses silence, a tacit understanding shared between them.
Driving towards Iris' secluded abode, Miren adopts the facade of a rural journalist conducting research, a ruse that deceives Iris enough to invite her in. Iris' nervous demeanor mirrors Miren's own turmoil as she spies a shattered bicycle, a poignant reminder of lost innocence. Iris attempts to quell the tension with a pot of coffee and banal chatter, while Miren, her guard up, scrutinizes every detail of the recorder's brand and Santiago's cherished photographs.
Amaya, sequestered with Chispa in her room, is oblivious to the brewing storm outside. The dog, however, senses the unease, its restlessness echoed in the subtle noises that escape its kennel. Miren, feigning disinterest, smoothly directs Iris to take the agitated canine for a walk, seizing the opportunity to delve deeper into the house's hidden secrets.
Iris, harboring a concealed knife at her back throughout, remained its silent sentinel, its mere presence igniting a palpable tension among onlookers, who knew full well of her capacity to unleash its deadly potential. As Miren tenderly bid farewell to the dog and Iris, her gaze, though unable to pierce the veil that shrouded Amaya, was certain of her presence within the confines of the house.
With a swift departure, Miren distanced herself from the domicile, her mind now engrossed in a meticulous scrutiny of the video footage. Her eyes latched onto the hairband adorning Amaya's tresses, a striking resemblance to the one Iris wore earlier that day, a telltale sign that the latter was indeed lurking within. Iris, cognizant of her slip-up, hastily gathered belongings into bags, the weight of her mistake weighing heavily on her.
Attempts to alert Belen of this revelation were thwarted by a stubborn network, leaving Miren's voice a fractured whisper in the ether. Undeterred, she concealed her vehicle amidst the shadows, armed with her camera, and patiently waited, her gaze fixed on the impending drama.
As night descended, the van, its occupants hidden in the gloom, embarked on its journey, only to find Miren's unwavering pursuit in its wake. Belen's frantic calls echoed through the line, pleading for Miren to halt, but the reporter's resolve was unshakeable.
Iris's emotional dam finally burst, her words a soothing balm for Amaya's ears, cautioning her against the harsh whispers of the press that would inevitably swirl around her mother's name. Yet, as she caught sight of Miren's relentless chase, a decision was forged within her. If she could not embrace the life they could have shared, then no one would. With a heart heavy with resolve, she steered the van towards the abyss, crashing through barriers and barriers of conventionality, determined to end this chase on her own terms.
As she lay there, devoid of consciousness, Amaya sat vigilantly by her side, tears streaming down her cheeks as she pleaded, her voice choked with emotion, for her to awaken. When Miren approached cautiously, Amaya's grief morphed into desperation, grabbing the nearby gun and firing, though her aim faltered, missing its mark. Miren, swift to react, enveloped Amaya in a comforting embrace, soothing her frayed nerves. Together, they were ushered to the hospital, where news of their arrival brought a mix of terror and relief to their loved ones.
Eduardo tended to Miren with gentle hands, marveling at the fact that the bullet had merely grazed her shoulder, sparing her a far graver fate. The following day, Iris's body was respectfully removed, while Chaparro stumbled upon a peculiar discovery in Miren's abandoned car—a camera, void of its crucial memory card. It transpired that Eduardo, in a selfless act, had removed it to shield Miren from further harm. The two emerged unscathed, Miren's heart filled with a sense of accomplishment as she dismantled the barriers of her investigation, feeling a weight lifted from her shoulders. She reached out to her mother, her voice laced with longing, inviting her home.
Ana and Alvaro encountered Amaya, yet her eyes remained unrecognizing of the name they called. But when they whispered "Julia," a spark of recognition flickered in her gaze, followed by a tender smile, signaling a new chapter for the family, one where they must embrace her transformed reality.
Two years flew by, and Miren narrated a pivotal passage from her newly published book, a testament to her triumph over the darkest corners of her past, the trauma of her rape, and her emergence from that suffocating cave into the light of renewal. Her book resonated deeply, a testament to her resilience, with Eduardo and her mother standing by her side, their support unwavering. As they prepared to depart, a mysterious package arrived, its inscription—"Want to play?"—a chilling reminder of the past. Upon opening it, Miren's gaze fell upon a haunting photograph, capturing her on the beach during that fateful day, a stark reminder of a horror she thought she had left behind.
